Yup, with Madonna directed by Guy Richie, and of course, the silver M5.

the best part is when he's drifting around the corner, he takes his hands off the wheel and snaps.

I got the free DVD release that BMW distributed a while back. Some really good stuff on it.
I hope they'll continue with the series. But I don't think Clive Owen will return though

Episode 1 is as hell...

Doesn't look like it gets any better.

I miss the old BMW films.

Most of the z4 episodes I find to be pretty poor.

I would check out ambush, star and chosen (or whichever one is in the 5 series on the dock)

Those of you that have the DVD from BMW, is there one that doesn't work on there?

It's the same one that wouldn't work on the website, I think it was either Chosen or The Follow

Star FTW!!

I have 3 and they all work fine. If you make copies of them though, 2 of the movies don't work for some reason. Other people have this problem as well.

I wish they still produce these short films. My favorites are Star and Chosen (the one with the little kid).

I got the DVD from BMW with the first five vignettes, and they all work.

I just watched every BMW Short Film on youtube.com and they are all very excellent. But star is the best one i think.
